The GT-R’s of SEMA 2008

Well here it is, the GT-R’s of SEMA 2008, I’m sure I missed a ton of them, but everywhere I looked I saw more GT-Rs each with fantastic mods, rims, body kits and who knows what else. Soo happy to see the GT-R killing it at SEMA 2008

Full Album with thumbnails.

National Geographic GT-R Video

Carlos Ghosen almost throws up in an early prototype, Nissan Execs browsing Autoblog in a Staff Meeting, and peak at the rumored 50KG of testing equipment mounted in the trunk of the Nurburgrin GT-R. All good stuff.

Took the GT-R out to Angeles Crest highway a couple of weeks ago and my good friend Josh shot this fantastic video of the event. Great work!

Upcomming, COBB tuning GT-R vs. 997 GT-Street Porsche

Just a little teaser video of the next episode of Head to Head.  To be honest I thought they would hold this for the finale, since these were the big guns, but I have to say I can’t wait to watch the full episode (even though I know how it went down).

Guess My car will be in a few more weeks….sigh… patience…

Video, My GT-R and Me at Willow

I had a ton of fun at this event (big thank you to Torque for organizing this), and it looks like Jonathan finally took the wraps off the teaser video as a prelude of what is to come.  Of course they cut out the lovely Miss Torque, my personal favorite, to see more of her, check out the Gallery below.

Looks like the series is off to a good start…..surprised that the New M3 lost to the PDK 911S though.
